Barcelona officials have met with their Torino counterparts to discuss their interest in Italian hotshot Andrea Belotti, reports Toro.it — a website which focuses on Torino

The 23-year-old, Serie A’s top scorer with 22 goals, is one of Europe’s most-coveted young strikers due to his form at Torino.

Barcelona are believed to be one of the clubs interested in the former Palermo man.

The report claims Torino club representatives travelled to Barcelona earlier this week to attend their 6-1 win against PSG.

However, it is believed the purpose of their visit was to meet officials and listen to their first offer for Belotti.

Andrea Belotti has scored two hat-tricks this season, the most recent against his former side Palermo last weekend. ‘El Gallo’, as he’s popularly known, has admitted he’s a fan of Shevchenko. He’s also cited the likes of Mario Gómez, Fernando Torres, Drogba and Agüero as references.
